ReLo'd to BA from SD

in late 2006, relocated my angst, business, and social life to NoCal from SoCal ... just a 40-something chick in the 'burbs of the SF bay area who randomly posts about random topics ... the occasional quirky stories of dating (or not) at 40-ish, work-week cubeopolis frivolity, rambling musings on nostalgika, and the occasional introspective moments in life.(thanks for visiting! >p, b)

r|alex: preview of this weekend

Bookmark and Share

i have the fortune of house-sitting for a friend - who has two dogs.

two dogs.

two dogs - each with a different personality ... as i have come to discover since my first evening with them - yesterday evening. my first 12:30 AM with them. my first 1:27 AM with them.

and a parade of creative ways - as creative as a dog can be - throughout the wee-hours when i was nudged, licked and sniffed to pay attention to one or the other or both.
2:14 AM.
3:30 AM.
pee-pee (one of them, not me) in a not-so-good place.
3:47 AM. 5:27 AM. 6:14 AM. 6:45 AM. 7:20 AM.

one - easy to coax.
other one - not so much.
hmmm ... which one, y'think, was easily coaxed?

woof! not so much ...

Bookmark and Share

not yet ... not quite ... but WTF?! ... totally!!! yes!

stupid human trick #37
sportin' a little sportDOG
TM in fashionable orange


i think the photos speak for the moment last tuesday. a few tidbits and thoughts ...
  • marathon plaza ... is a fabu place to sample sportDOGTM
  • joy buzzer? not so much ... it's not at all like a handshake/joy buzzer - not at all. really. not at all. not. at. all.
  • laughing matter? ... laughter resulted from the actual tickle feeling on setting 3 (palm of hand ... left hand - the one with which i do not write, typically), but this is not quite a laughing matter
  • ouch! ... setting 7 probably stings quite a bit because 6 stung - through denim (photos not provided, but trust me - ouchy.)
  • wow-za! ... setting 4 in between the thumb & forefinger on one's palm, that soft spot - the V - where one typically relies on for holding a tennis racquet, can provide quite the l'il tickle, particularly as the charge travels up the thumb. (tried this a couple of times on various settings. wow-za starts at 4.)
  • little wow-za ... setting 4 on the heel of the palm - not so much
sure, it fits around one's neck. fortunately, my handler, a, likes me 'nuff not to hit that button from the little handheld remote. (oh! just in case orange is too loud, there also is a black collar.)
